据能源经济10月14日消息称，由于南亚超过 75 吉瓦的过剩化石燃料产能，能源与清洁空气研究中心(CREA) 和 TransitionZero发布的一份新报告关注了印度、孟加拉国、巴基斯坦和斯里兰卡等关键国家的电力需求和供应。
印度电力系统的所有过剩产能都来自燃煤电厂。
根据该报告，近75吉瓦的过剩化石燃料产能可以立即退役，而不会影响这些国家的可靠电力供应。
CREA分析师Sunil Dahiya说：“我们的分析发现，南亚的化石燃料过剩产能超过 75 吉瓦。这种过剩产能可以逐步淘汰，从而提高其他电力资产的利用率，并每年节省超过23亿美元。”
研究中发现的大量产能过剩是煤炭开发过度投资的结果，因为各国的建设速度远远超过了实际需求的增长。
在2018年3月至2021年期间，印度、孟加拉国和巴基斯坦总共启用了超过30吉瓦的煤炭、石油和天然气产能。

75GW of excess fossil fuel capacity can be retired in South Asia
With South Asia over 75 GW of excess fossil fuel capacity, a new report released by the Centre for Research align="justify"> All of the excess capacity in India's power system is from coal-fired power plants.
According to the report, close to 75 GW of excess fossil fuel capacity can be retired immediately without compromising reliable supply of electricity in these countries.
"Our analysis finds that South Asia has over 75 GW of excess fossil fuel capacity. This excess capacity can be phased out resulting in improved utilization of other power assets as well as annual savings of over $2.3 billion," CREA analyst Sunil Dahiya said.
The high amount of overcapacity found in the study is a result of excessive investment in coal development, as construction has far outpaced actual demand growth within countries.
Together, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan commissioned over 30 GW of coal, oil, and gas capacity between March 2018 and 2021.
